Three things I've learned-round 20 v North Melbourne
Testing 1, 2, 3
Testing 1, 2, 3
Three things if you please.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Count them down. 3 things you have learned from tonight game.

Re: Three things I've learned-round 20 v North Melbourne
1. Foot skills are King. Hrovat & Webb make a difference.
2. We don't get bullied by faux tough men anymore. We fight back, hard.
3. This is a hell of a roller coaster season!!

Re: Three things I've learned-round 20 v North Melbourne
1. Bloody hell that was a young team, what an outstanding win effort against a bunch of geriatrics.
2. Fletch copes it from all angles but this game could be the making of him.
3. I hate Norf, the most, used to be the pies but now I hate Norf the most. Useless bunch of pseudo tough men with minimal ability.

Re: Three things I've learned-round 20 v North Melbourne
1.North can't function in their forward line without Brown. Big out.
2.Was a pleasure to watch Lukas Webb. At first glance, he has all aspects of the game covered and just needs to build game time.
3. Liked the Bont heckle at Firrito after the spoil. Have never seen another player on our list do anything like that. Took it to him.

Re: Three things I've learned-round 20 v North Melbourne
1. Whoever makes up the script for our banner has a fine sense of humour.
2. Shane Biggs is a very composed defender.
3. Caleb Daniel gets better and better.

Re: Three things I've learned-round 20 v North Melbourne
1. There's a very good strategic mind ticking away in the coaches box. Nearly every plan came off.
2. This group isn't going to be pushed around. Especially by faux tough guys.
3. That was the most spirited rendition of the club song I've heard for a while.
3.5 I underestimated how much we missed Luke Dalhaus.
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

Re: Three things I've learned-round 20 v North Melbourne
1. First time since early in the year our back six looked dangerous
2. Thought the no name backs were terrific
3. That's as close as Furrito will ever get to being a decent footballer
That was as obvious as Brad Scott having his arms out whinging, the pseudo tough by BS

Re: Three things I've learned-round 20 v North Melbourne
1. Norf are extremely cowardly. Previously I assume they were only mildly cowardly.
2. Bont has bucket loads of swagger to match his godliness. He will beat you. He may even beat you up.
3. We are exceptional at locking down games and turning it into a slug fest. Tonight felt like Plan C.

Re: Three things I've learned-round 20 v North Melbourne
1. We can still win even if we lose all the major stats, Cont.Poss, Stoppages, disposals etc.
2. Tom Boyd looked a little stuffed - he can't ruck and be a FF
3. We play to plan we can win

Re: Three things I've learned-round 20 v North Melbourne
My biggest take from the game is that 3 guys who needed to show something if we were to win all did something substantial and took further steps to being long term Bulldogs:
- Lin Jong won a team high 11 contested possessions and generally showed good intensity and composure
- Lukas Webb won a team high 5 clearances, 8 contested balls and generally showed quality
- Hrovat showed class, 86% disposal efficiency, 4 tackles, important goal. Looked right at home.

Re: Three things I've learned-round 20 v North Melbourne
Our depth has really been tested this year but the list has risen to the challenge. Roberts and Hamling were very good down back. Webb and Hrovat were good contributors and Zaine bounced back to kick a pressure goal shortly after missing a very getable one.
Marcus Bontempelli will be an inspirational captain one day.
Our old hands down back are worth their weight in gold. I loved the way Easton Wood put his hand up in the last five minutes.
We have a lot of self-belief and we are building a team to be reckoned with.

Three Things
1. We still have a big part to play in season 2016
2. Bonti is a huge chance for the Brownlow
3. Injuries have hit us especially down back but still we have been great defensively

Re: Three things I've learned-round 20 v North Melbourne
1. Norf are oiled wankers
2. They act tuff but they are not
3. Their supporters disappear if it looks like they are not winning.
4. They umps favour them for some reason that has to do with drug importation and NMFC
Officially on the Bus-wagon
